This inspires Hungarian professionals, famous for their creativity, to make further strides in space communications as it is also essential to the development of a new generation of networks. Following the 2012 launch of Masat-1, the first Hungarian satellite developed by the professors and students of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, another Hungarian satellite, SMOG-1, was put into space at the end of 2019, designed to measure radio-frequency pollution (electro-smog). Hungarian space research and developments in space communications will be further encouraged by Intersputnik’s new development programme, enabling creative talent to take newer and newer forms in Hungary.
